Editor's Notes
- #2 This we will use to introduce the Why, What we will look like, Benefit to our communities and then move into the How. Reasaon f Top line: a) if you think of LYR as having great expertise and a strong reputation in services and outreach. b) If you think of DuraSpace as having great experience and a trusted brand reputation in managing programs and projects in the software area. Combined, you blend two great models/teams and communities together that can punch well above their combined weight. Let’s see what each Org looks like in a little more detail
- #3 And what is not on this list: 1. A great team of talented, mission driven group of 12 people 2. And a powerhouse of top tier institutions; a veritable ‘who’s who of institutions. Debra
- #4 Robert And what is not on this list: 1. A great team of talented, mission driven group of 53 people 2. And a broad well-represented swath of institutions that represent; a veritable ‘who’s who of the global community. Robert
- #5 Robert Sprints - Following what we do in software – 2 week increments Accomplish what we did in a Sprint – draft mission statement Why important and looking for input or feedback Combined Mission statement – this statement represents a nice framing by both teams of the shared vision they see as part of this merger. We would like your feedback to this draft mission statement. What will follow will be case studies for each key sector of the content community, ranging from benefits that academics to public libraries will enjoy. Not-for-profits engaged in active service to academic, scientific and cultural heritage communities Talented, passionate workforces engaged in moving organizational missions forward Commitment to hosted technical and content services as a sustainable solution for small to mid-sized institutions Strong, long-standing brand recognition “Open” organizational cultures–open communications, open access, open source Sustainable, proven business models
- #6 Debra How will the two organizations match up? What will we look like? Overlap? Unique skills? Software and Services Programs Note: that we are testing out the naming – LYRASIS as the parent org, DuraSpace is the division Broader organizational support and security for each open source project and community program Shared direct labor and program resources offers broader sustainability for projects Broader and more connected communities Stronger executive support for projects, programs and services Improved fiscal support, ability to generate additional funding and better fiscal stability Indirect support for outreach activities such as training and documentation available to serve members and wider communities Expanded technological footprint with ancillary service support
- #7 Debra - Some of the “Why” Engagement - We have 140 top tiers orgs with DuraSpace, over 2,000 users of DSs software solutions, over 1,200 members from LYR and another 3,000 users of LYR services that represent all levels of GLAMs. How can we leverage this fiscal commitment to key programs and projects. Access – to support the 6 CSS/OSS will be 14 technical people. Think of the synergies and creativity that will be gained. Hosted Services – To support the 7 DTS will be 8 direct. Think of the opportunity to deliver end-to-end solutions. And to aid both of these areas, there will be 19 indirect staff who can help identify, support and engage users. Content - Combined there will be a purchasing power of over $5 billion dollars. What can we do to leverage this to the benefit of our members and communities? ----------- Broader organizational support and security for each open source project and community program Shared direct labor and program resources offers broader sustainability for projects Broader and more connected communities Stronger executive support for projects, programs and services Improved fiscal support, ability to generate additional funding and better fiscal stability Indirect support for outreach activities such as training and documentation available to serve members and wider communities Expanded technological footprint with ancillary service support Services – we go from 3 DTS and 5 LYR to a combined 8 for both communities. DTS operations = 3 (Mark, Blake, Brian); DTS outreach = 1 (Maddie), myself, 3 from DuraSpace (Carissa, Bill, and Danny) So the total for hosting services would be 8, 5 from LYR and 3 from DS CSS/OSS – 14 total LYR – 6, LYR 2 FTE Development; DS 6 Support – 19 total Training – 2, Member Services (10), Member Outreach ( 5), fiscal (2)
- #8 Robert More on the ‘why” Combined organization provides a way to begin to thinking of the entire work flow listed above. Following a traditional model of end-to-end Asset management services, here is how the Software and Digital Services line up and can be viewed.
- #9 Robert While you might not see it at first blush, Sustainability ensures that the engagement with institutions both large and small will be consistent and professional while also being nimble and responsive. Brand footprint – Recognizable and trusted within respective communities. Vivo community sought out DS as an example. LYR has over $6mm it holds as a fiscal agent and over $70mm from over 80 best-of-field vendors representing over 800 vetted projects; including e resources Leveraging Global – Over 28 countries are represented with this merger. International languages represented at various levels at the Management level include German, Spanish, Chinese. Technical Perl, PHP, shell scripts, XSLT/XPath/XQuery, Ruby, html, SQL, Bash, Drupal, Javascript, Java, jquery, C#. Perl, PHP, shell scripts, XSLT/XPath/XQuery, Ruby, html, SQL, Bash, Drupal, Javascript, Java, jquery, C, C#, Objective-C, Python, Swift Leveraging Capacity – International Digitization programs, Software programs, scientific libraries, cultural heritage initiatives are just a few of the examples of leverage at scale.
- #11 At the moment we are responding to ongoing feedback from governing boards, members, staffs and communities We are providing regular updates for all stakeholders on our process and progress We are on behalf of our memberships, conducting due diligence in such areas as Legal, fiscal and contractural As mentioned, we are looking for your feedback around our draft organizational mission We are working on the our combined membership model to ensure you realize the highest value possible.
